The Moonless Caves

Cliff THE CLIFF: You say that you can find a quicker way if you go down by the cliff, under you. You think that with a rope you can reach the bottom in less then ten minutes. The path that you have followed before would take you at least another two hours. You need, on the contrary to reach the village and to search for a cart or some horses, and you need to arrive there before the end of the day.
Gihk and Ander agree with you and rapidly they find a rope in a room of the castle. They tie you with it and you begin to go down though the cliff, looking for the safest way. You know, in fact, that Ander and Gihk doesn't have your ability in climbing rocks.
You go down for several yards but when you are about at the middle of the cliff you realize that you are very tired and that you can't go on without resting a while. You look around and you find a cavern that proceed inside the mountain, going down in the direction of the village, that from the high you can see at the horizon, where the sun is begin to setting down.
You could be wrong but you'd say that it could be better and safer if you'd go on there. Ander and Gihk can't descend all the cliff and you too are very tired. On the other side you can loose time if the cavern don't cut to the village.


What do you do?
- I go on trying to descend the cliff.
- I'm very tired and I realize that I and the others can get the bottom of the cliff, so I call 'em and I propose to go on through the cavern.
- I say to the others that it was not a good idea, and that they couldn't ever get the bottom, but I go alone in the cavern.
- I say to the other that it was not a good idea, and that they couldn't ever get the bottom, and that we have to go down through the path.
